I think it is much better made than the 2 frame from the pictures others have posted, but there are obvious issues with the workmanship such as sharp edges and burrs also inside the shaft of the handle.People have complained about the smell... There is a grease type lubricant at the bottom in the hole the shaft spins in that I'm sure is not food safe. I took out the spinning mechanism by taking off the fly nuts and cleaned the whole thing when I installed the honey gate. All that said, I still think it was worth the money.
